The about:telemetry add-on will be integrated in the platform in bug 661881. The about:telemetry page displays the data collected by Telemetry, which is good because users have a view into their data that is collected by this framework. However, the design and structure of about:telemetry makes it difficult for the average consumer to understand the data that is collected. about:telemetry needs some UX love in terms of a redesign to make it consumable for the average Firefox user.
cc shorlander as per ibarlow's suggestion for review of the about:telemetry page and feedback on 1. how the page should be styled to follow about: page conversion 2. how we can improve the presentation to make this page more consumable to the average Firefox user Note for 2 that I don't know that users and devs want the same view of the data. We may need to create a separate about:telemetry page for users and devs or have some sort of advanced option.
shorlander replied a while back via e-mail to the my question: Can you help me understand what the must have UX changes are from your point of view so that Vlad can focus on those and land this feature? <shorlander> I think "must haves" should focus on increasing readability/scanability: - Visually distinguish between the sections: telemetry info blurb, the slow sql statements part and the rest - Use the system UI font - Put the entries into a vertical list scrollable list </shorlander>

Vlad, has the change landed in the add-on or in the version of about:telemetry that will be included in Firefox via bug 661881?
